DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a synthetic resin tubular container. Specifically, the present invention relates to a tubular container made of synthetic resin that can be suitably used as a specimen container for clinical testing.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, glass tubular containers have been used as sample containers for clinical tests, but these containers have been prone to breakage, resulting in injuries from fragments and the need to re-collect specimens. Currently, the use of containers made of synthetic resin is being considered.

〔発明が解決しようとする問題点〕[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

い。
In the case of ordinary containers such as food containers, there is usually a threaded part or a flange-like part on the outside of the mouth of the container.
When releasing the mold from an injection mold, etc., this threaded part or flange-like part is held by a part of the split mold and released from other parts of the mold, so there is no possibility of the mold becoming impossible to release. .

However, in the case of specimen containers for clinical tests, the outer surface from the mouth to the body of the container usually does not protrude, and when manufactured by injection molding etc. using synthetic resin, there is no protrusion. There is a problem that the mold is difficult.

特に、成形金型の雌型に成形品が付着してしま
つた場合には形成品を壊さずに取出すことは難か

Particularly, if a molded product adheres to the female die of the mold, it is difficult to remove the molded product without damaging it.

For this reason, for example, it is possible to form a protruding undercut on the inner wall near the mouth of the molded product to ensure that the molded product always adheres to the male mold (core) when the mold is opened. it was thought.

However, when such an undercut is provided on the inner wall near the mouth, the contents (e.g., blood) will adhere to the undercut when used as a sample container, so the contents cannot be centrifuged. When attempting to precipitate after separation, there are problems such as the contents adhering to the vicinity of the mouth falling into the supernatant liquid (eg, serum).

Further, there is a problem that the undercut near the mouth gets in the way of the mouth plug, etc.

In the case of such a tubular container 1, release from the mold becomes a problem as described above. For this reason, in the tubular container 1 of the present invention, an undercut portion 5 is formed at a specific position on the inner surface of the tubular container 1.
By providing the undercut portion 5, when the molded product is released from the mold, it is released while firmly adhering to the male mold (core) side, and does not adhere to the female mold.
The molded product attached to the male mold can be easily removed by conventional means (such as using a stripper plate).

In the tubular container 1 of the present invention, an undercut portion 5 is provided on the inner surface of the tubular container 1 below the center in the longitudinal direction.

By forming the undercut portion 5 at such a position, problems such as contamination of the supernatant liquid during separation and precipitation of a sample as described above are eliminated.

The size of the undercut portion 5 may be relatively small, and may be provided with several small protrusions with a diameter of about 1 to 2 mm and a height of about 0.05 to 0.1 mm.
The shape may be the small protrusion mentioned above, or an annular shape along the inner wall of the tubular container, for example, a width of 1 to 2 mm.
An annular undercut portion with a height of about 0.05 to 1 mm is considered.

Furthermore, as described above, the undercut portion 5 is provided below the longitudinal center of the tubular container 1, but it is desirable that its position be as close to the bottom as possible. In this way, there will be no problem with mold release even in the case of a short shot (usually the gate is located at the bottom).

Furthermore, if the wall thickness of the body 3 of the tubular container 1 is configured to gradually increase from the mouth 2 toward the bottom 4, the wall thickness in the circumferential direction of the tubular container becomes uniform, so a preferable rate of gradual increase is as follows. The nearby wall thickness is 1.1 of the mouth wall thickness.
It is best to set it to about 3.0 times.

In addition, by making the bottom wall thickness at least twice the average wall thickness of the body, it is possible to prevent the whitening that occurs at the gate part (bottom part of the tubular container) during injection molding from reaching the inner surface of the container. This is desirable because it prevents the whitened portion from being mistaken for a precipitate or the like.

According to the container of the present invention, the molded product does not adhere to the female mold when the mold is released, and the undercut portion is not located in a position that interferes with the processing of the specimen, etc., so that it is easy to process the specimen. There is no problem at all, and furthermore, even in the case of short shot, the mold can be reliably released.
